anyone point me to an XL suspension upgrade?

[bobaloohoo]

I just converted the TVP's and motor plate to the XL along with rear shaft. now i need to tweak on the width of the truck, but i dont want to have to buy new A-Arms for the width unless i have too, i really dont know about the suspension upgrades for the XL. is there anything i can do to improve the width of the truck but changing axles or any of that sort?

2 things u can do...


Offset wheels, this would b my route

Or you can buy a set of extended hex's

 

[bobaloohoo]

planned on buying 2 sets of trencher x 3.8s. you think the 1/2" offset would look good with the new XL length. or shall i get adapters also?

 

[hotrodrob]

It will be a a total of 1" wider with the proline wheels,should be enough u can always add the wider hex down the road

 

[bobaloohoo]

yeah i would assume the extra half on each side would add up handling wise and show. ill try the tires first, get the more expensive/useful parts out of the way

 

[hotrodrob]

The trenxer x tire itself is wider than the stockers too so,

 

[bobaloohoo]

and on top of that, i need to get these ugly ass savage stock rims gone!

Can you point me in the direction of the wider hexes? I just bought the same kit and may want to look at a wider stance also.

griff, look at the new post of my savage converted, i bought some offset tires and rims combo, with them, there is no need at all for the hex's

I appreciate it but would prefer the hex extensions, I have some barely used maximizer rims along with zombie tires and would rather buy the extensions then new rims and wheels. your truck looks sweet and maybe tomorrow I can convert my tvps.

 

[bobaloohoo]

well in that case, dont go along with what i said! would save a lot of money just converting to the hex's

Guys have been using the warlock extended hub with good results

Look at the post in my sig. On the last page (or relatively close to it) there is a link for the warlock extenders. You'll still want to get the XL axles if you want width though
